This is a youth and middle school camp (4th to 9th grade boys & girls), that is NOT for beginners (who never played recreation basketball). We will build on the basic skills you have already obtained. We will further develop shooting, ball handling, passing, footwork, 1 on 1 moves, how to play in game situations and athleticism to take your game to the next level. You will learn game like shooting drills, including off the dribble moves to get 2-3 feet of separation from a defender to get an uncontested shot, which will help you become a great shooter.

Shooting Camps will help you improve shooting technique, confidence, range, speed of release, accuracy, footwork, and your overall shooting percentage! Players also learn how to work at home, develop mental toughness, practice smarter, and other intangibles to become a great shooter. Age levels are separated and players progress at different rates based on skill level.

This is a hybrid of our popular "Shooting" and "Ball handling & Finishing" Camps. Your shooting mechanics will improve, and your shooting range will increase!

This camp is for for a variety of ages depending on the location below. The curriculum and drills are tailored to the age ranges that are specific to that location. Both boys & girls are welcome.

The focus is on footwork, aggressiveness, mentality, and post specific moves. This camp is for post and perimeter players. Perimeter players have to be the most versatile players on the court. They should have the ability to get to the basket and hit the open shot. They are secondary ball handlers and primary rebounders. They play outside, and they play inside.

We're looking to add a few more camps across the country. If you would like your area to be considered, you need to be able to secure a gym with 10 or more baskets (high schools or colleges with multiple courts/gyms can work).

"Just wanted to thank you guys again for the great camp in Libertyville over the weekend with Mr. Kelbick. My son's footwork became much more fluid by the end of the camp that we are excited to see the benefits during the upcoming season."

"It was refreshing to see & participate in a camp that focuses on fundamentals, fundamentals & more fundamentals. With so much focus on winning within youth sports today, this is an area that is often left behind within the development with kids."

Paul Sorce, Parent

This is my son's second Breakthrough Basketball camp and he has only had good things to say both times. First, he had fun. He liked the scrimmages and felt the competition was good. Second, he definitely felt that he got useful instruction/lessons - some things that he already knew that Chris reinforced and some things that were new. Also, he felt that he learned some useful variations on some moves that he was already using, which he was very happy about. Both times, as a parent, I've been impressed with how well organized your camps are and the respectful/serious approach you take to working with the kids. Definitely worth the cost and the time!
